The school was the instructive and religious capital of Scots-Irish America. In 1754, trustees of the College of New Jersey recommended that, in acknowledgment of Governor's advantage, Princeton ought to be named as Belcher College. Gov. Jonathan Belcher answered: "What a hellfire of name that would be!" In 1756, the school moved to Princeton, New Jersey. Its home in Princeton was Nassau Hall, named for the regal House of Orange-Nassau of William III of England. Taking after the awkward passings of Princeton's initial five presidents, John Witherspoon got to be president in 1768 and stayed in that office until his demise in 1794. Amid his administration, Witherspoon moved the school's center from preparing priests to setting up another era for initiative in the new American country. To this end, he fixed scholastic norms and requested interest in the school. Witherspoon's administration constituted a long stretch of security for the school, hindered by the American Revolution and especially the Battle of Princeton, amid which British fighters quickly possessed Nassau Hall; American strengths, drove by George Washington, let go gun on the working to defeat them from it. 

In 1969, Princeton University initially conceded ladies as students. In 1887, the college really kept up and staffed a sister school, Evelyn College for Women, in the town of Princeton on Evelyn and Nassau roads. It was shut after about 10 years of operation. After unsuccessful discourses with Sarah Lawrence College to migrate the ladies' school to Princeton and consolidation it with the University in 1967, the organization chose to concede ladies and swung to the issue of changing the school's operations and offices into a female-accommodating grounds. The organization had scarcely completed these arrangements in April 1969 when the affirmations office started mailing out its acknowledgment letters. Its five-year coeducation arrangement gave $7.8 million to the improvement of new offices that would in the long run house and instruct 650 ladies understudies at Princeton by 1974. At last, 148 ladies, comprising of 100 first year recruits and students from another school of different years, entered Princeton on September 6, 1969 in the midst of much media consideration. Princeton selected its first female graduate understudy, Sabra Follett Meservey, as a PhD competitor in Turkish history in 1961. A modest bunch of undergrad ladies had learned at Princeton from 1963 on, spending their lesser year there to concentrate on "basic dialects" in which Princeton's offerings surpassed those of their home foundations. They were viewed as customary understudies for their year on grounds, yet were not contender for a Princeton degree. As a consequence of a 1979 claim by Sally Frank, Princeton's eating clubs were required to go coeducational in 1991, after Tiger Inn's speak to the U.S. Incomparable Court was denied. In 1987, the college changed the gendered verses of "Old Nassau" to mirror the school's co-instructive understudy body. In 2009-11, Princeton teacher Nannerl O. Keohane led a panel on undergrad ladies' administration at the college, delegated by President Shirley M. Tilghman.
